DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the preferred embodiment of a wrench support rack assembly according to the present invention is shown to include a support rack 10, a retention cover 20, and a fastener device 30.
As illustrated, the support rack 10 includes a base 10″, and left and right side plates 11, 12. The base 10″ has two opposite sides. The left and right side plates 11, 12 extend respectively and upwardly from the opposites sides of the base 10″ to define a wrench-receiving space 13 therebetween.
The retention cover 20 has a pivot end 21 mounted pivotally on the left side plate 11, and a distal end 22 opposite to the pivot end 21. The retention cover 20 is rotatable relative to the left side plate 11 between a covering position, in which the distal end 22 of the retention cover 20 moves toward the right side plate 12 so as to cover the wrench-receiving space 13, as best shown in FIG. 3, and an uncover position, in which the distal end 22 of the retention cover 20 moves away from the right side plate 12 to permit access to the wrench-receiving space 13, as best shown in FIG. 2.
The fastener device 30 includes a flap 33, a first latch arm 31, a second latch arm 333, a first latch groove 321, and a second latch groove 341. The flap 33 is flexibly connected to the distal end 22 of the retention cover 20. The first latch arm 31 extends transversely from the retention cover 20 adjacent to the distal end 22. The second latch arm 333 extends transversely from the flap 33. The first latch groove 321 is formed in the right side plate 12 and engages the first latch arm 31 when the retention cover 20 is disposed at the covering position, thereby preventing upward movement of the retention cover 20 relative to the support rack 10, as best shown in FIG. 4. The second latch groove 341 is formed in the right side plate 12, is spaced apart from the first latch arm 333 when the retention cover 20 is disposed at the covering position, thereby preventing sidewise movement of the flap 33 relative to the right side plate 12 of the support rack 10, as best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The first and second latch arms 31, 333 extend in transverse directions when the retention cover 20 is disposed at the covering position (see FIG. 6).
In this embodiment, the right side plate 12 has a top end 12T and a projection 321, and is formed with a generally U-shaped recess 32 that is confined by a recess-confining wall 32W and that includes an innermost wall portion 320 and two lateral wall portions 322. The projection 321″ protrudes outwardly and laterally from the innermost wall portion 320 adjacent o the top end 12T of the right side plate 12. The innermost wall portion 320 cooperates with the projection 321″ to define the first latch groove 321 therebetween. The lateral wall portions 322 extend transversely and respectively from two opposite ends of the innermost wall portion 320. The right side plate 12 further includes a bar 34 that is disposed in the recess 32 and that interconnects the lateral wall portions 322. The bar 34 has a bottom end disposed at an elevation below the projection 321″, and an inner side face confronting and spaced apart from the innermost wall portion 320. The second latch groove 341 is formed in the inner side face of the bar 34 adjacent to the bottom end thereof. The fastener device 30 further includes an abutting member 35 extending transversely from the flap 33 and disposed to press against the first latch arm 31 when the retention cover 20 is disposed at the covering position.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, after purchase of the wrench support rack assembly of the present invention, the flap 33 can be severed from the retention cover 20 by cutting along the distal end 22 of the retention cover 20 so that a little upward force on the retention cover 20 results in movement of the distal end of the retention cover 20 away from the support rack 10.
Referring again to FIG. 1, the support rack 10 further includes a plurality of first confining members 111, and a plurality of second confining members 112. The first and second confining members 111, 112 extend uprightly from the base 10″, and are respectively aligned with one another in a longitudinal direction. An adjacent pair of the first confining members 111 define a first groove (111G) therebetween, and have opposing first and second groove-defining faces (111F, 111S) which cooperatively confine the first groove (111G) and which are spaced apart from each other by a first distance. An adjacent pair of the second confining members 112 define a second groove (112G) therebetween, and have opposing first and second groove-defining faces (112F, 112S) which cooperatively confine the second groove (112G) and which are spaced apart from each other by the first distance, such that when a wrench 100 is disposed in the wrench support rack assembly of the present invention, the stem of the wrench 100 extends through the first and second grooves (111G, 112G) (see FIG. 1). A plurality of pressing members 24 are disposed between and are spaced apart from the first confining members 111 and the second confining members 112. Each of the pressing member 24 includes an L-shaped first leg 242 that is disposed proximate to the first groove-defining face (111F) of a respective one of the first confining members 111, that extends upwardly from the base 10″, and that has a first section (242F) extending in the longitudinal direction and a second section (242S) extending from the first section (242F) in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal direction, an L-shaped second leg 242 that is disposed proximate to the first groove-defining face (112F) of a respective one of the second confining members 112, that extends upwardly from the base 10″, and that has a first section (242F) extending in the longitudinal direction and a second section (242S) extending from the first section (242F) in the transverse direction, and a bridging portion 243 which interconnects the first sections (242S) of the L-shaped first and second legs 242 and which is formed with a protrusion 243″having an abutment face 241 parallel to and spaced apart from a plane, which is co-planar with the second groove-defining faces (111S, 112S) of the respective first and second confining members 111, 112, by a second distance that is shorter than the first distance. As such, the abutment face 241 of the bridging portion 243 resiliently presses the stem of the wrench 100 against the second groove-defining faces (111S, 112S) of the respective first and second confining members 111, 112 when the wrench 100 is disposed in the first and second grooves (111G, 112G). Preferably, the bridging member 243 of each of the pressing members 24 has a bottom that is spaced apart from the base 10″ of the support rack 10.
With this invention thus explained, it is apparent that numerous modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention. It is therefore intended that the invention be limited only as indicated in the appended claims.
